SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO INITIATE UPDATING OF REFERENCE VOLTAGES

摘要

In a data storage device that includes a non-volatile memory, a method includes determining that a current error correction code page count (CEC) is at least as large as a target error correction code page count (TEC). The CEC is a page count of error correction code (ECC) pages of data read from the memory during a time period from a previous time to a particular time using a set of reference voltages. In response to the CEC being at least as large as the TEC, the method includes updating a subset of the set of reference voltages conditioned upon a difference between a current mean error count (CMEC) and a previous mean error count being at least as large as a target mean delta error. The CMEC is based on a count of read errors associated with the ECC pages read during the time period.
